HELP – ie8 & child theme menus

  • So here’s the site: https://rbrwp.playfulanomaly.com/

    1. When viewed in IE8 on XP the menus lose all their styling
    2. When viewed in any browser the site ‘collapses’ as you shrink your browser window

    My main problem is #1. I don’t have the ability to view the issues at home and troubleshoot from there. I would welcome any suggestions/advice etc. Please let me know if you need any pieces of my code etc. Oh, the theme is a child-theme based off of Twentyeleven. Hope that’s all the info you need but if not I’ll do my best to provide it.

    Thanks!

  • Twenty Eleven is a responsive design, meaning its size and layout adapts to different screen sizes.

    When you make a child theme, you need to take that into account and make sure your added styles do not cause issues. It sounds like this is what has happened, so you need to refine your code to make it compatible.

    As for IE8, this is probably because you’re using CSS3 styles? As they are not supported by IE8. When using CSS3 if you want IE8 support, you made need to include a fall back. This can be in the CSS itself, or by using IE conditional statements.

    If it’s nothing to do with CSS3, then it’s probably just because your styling has some errors. Code for browser compatibility from scratch, every single time you make changes check across the browsers to make sure it works.
